DESCRIPTION:Koni Benson discusses her new graphic history books Crossroads: I Live 
 Where I Like. Drawn by South African political cartoonists the Trantraal 
 brothers and Ashley Marais, Crossroads is a graphic nonfiction history of 
 women-led movements at the forefront of the struggle for land, housing, 
 water, education, and safety in Cape Town over half a century. Drawing on 
 over sixty life narratives, it tells the story of women who built and 
 defended Crossroads, the only informal settlement that successfully 
 resisted the apartheid bulldozers in Cape Town. The story follows women’s 
 organized resistance from the peak of apartheid in the 1970s to ongoing 
 struggles for decent shelter today.\n\nKoni Benson is a historian, 
 organizer, and educator. She is a lecturer in the Department of History at 
 the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa, where she is 
 committed to creative approaches to history that link art, activism, and 
 African history in her work with various student, activist, and cultural 
 collectives in southern Africa.\n\nFree admission. Masks and proof of vax 
 required.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/06/27/18850748.php
